Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan was visibly unhappy with his team blowing a 20-point lead against the New York Knicks on Friday night.
The Hornets saw their three-game winning streak snapped in one of the most frustrating ways possible in allowing the Knicks to rally to pick up the 126-124 overtime win at Spectrum Center.
New York was down 72-53 at halftime while seemingly headed to its sixth straight defeat, but Charlotte had no answers in the second half for what became a huge night for Knicks guard Emmanuel Mudiay.
The third-year pro finished with a career-high 34 points on 14-of-21 shooting while dishing out eight assists.
Mudiay's impressive display combined with the Hornets' ability to seal the deal left Michael Jordan less than thrilled with the outcome, which was more than obvious in this video:

That is one flabberghasted owner right there.
It has to be extremely frustrating to see his team reel off three wins in a row and then fall flat in a game after racking up such a big lead.
It also doesn't help that the Hornets beat this Knicks team just five days ago at Madison Square Garden, so all the momentum was in favor of James Borrego's squad.
But now it's back to the drawing board after a head-scratching defeat, and the Hornets will have to get their focus back quickly as they prepare to welcome in LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night.
The Lakers have won six of eight and most recently suffered a 113-111 loss to the Houston Rockets a few days ago.
